I reckon its the other way round. Those with race bikes already e.g. Felix and Weagi prefer "the reassuringly expensive route"

The suvverners are too strapped for cash paying for their overpriced beer, congestion charging, train tickets etc so the MT has come up with a "cheap" race series for 'em!!:P

Don't make it sound too good up here or they'll all be up ere, the price of pigeon lofts with go through the roof!!
